We managed to sneak out one last update in 2019...somewhere between the Christmas ham and watching the ball drop, there was some hustle to get a couple features in place before the North American winter calves start dropping.

Before we get started, it's been a rough trot in Australia where many regions are experiencing the worst dry spell since the federation drought (1895–1903). As everyone is now aware, the extended dry has culminated in widespread fires testing the patience of many rural communities. Needless to say, now is a good time to check in on affected producers in your network if nothing else, then to just say g'day.

First up, there are two new options in birthflow to move the group and treat the progeny. Nb. The move option will move the dam and all progeny to a new pasture whereas the treat option is only applied to the progeny.

Also in birthflow, the system will now detect known tagging schemes and automatically apply the next tag in sequence. It also crosses years, so in this example, the previous year was Q01, Q02, Q03, etc so the first tag of the new year has reset to R01.

Finally, the fert and spray events have been updated to utilize the products module. This means you can now manage fertilizers and pesticides under 'Products' which also means they are also available for use in financial transactions.

That's all we have to talk about right now, but stay tuned as we have some great additions in the pipeline. As always, feedback is welcome at support@livestocked.com
